Land Sea Air Manufacturing's processes leverage lean business practices including SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies). This quick change business process dramatically reduces the time it takes to complete equipment changeovers and restore equipment to productivity.

The essence of the Land Sea Air Manufacturing's SMED process is actually very simple. Convert as many changeover steps as possible to “external” such that they are performed while the equipment is running. This simplifies and streamlines the manufacturing process while reducing risk and setup errors.

By leveraging proprietary business process improvements including state of the art work holding, standardized tool setting, marked locators (zero indicators), multi-pallet, and multi tombstone equipment, our setup process is expedited. This is particularly valuable to satisfy urgent customer requirements.

Best of all, this translates into higher quality, shorter lead time and lower total cost for our customers. 

Planning and supply chain management are all essential to success for and with our partners. At Land Sea Air Manufacturing, we respond quickly. Quotes are processed in 1 - 3 business days depending on complexity. Once an order is placed, we begin work immediately.

Material is staged and planning is often complete in-parallel with finalizing the order. The result is a substantially faster delivery. In many cases, shipments from Land Sea Air Manufacturing are made four times faster than our competitors.
